Hi,
I don't need to change my name, but I'd like to add my husband's first name to my account. Is this possible without creating a new account?

Hi MAMATEA,
PayPal does not offer joint accounts however, if you have Business PayPal account, you can allow other users to access your PayPal account.
Here's how:
- Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
- Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
- Click "Manage Users" in the Account Information column.
- Click "Add User".
- Enter the user's name, a user ID and a password. The user will use this ID and password to log in to your PayPal account.
- Check the box for each of the privileges you're allowing this user.
- Click "Save".

DrKuhnert,
If the option is not available, you may need to upgrade to a Business account. You can upgrade to a Business account by either
1) clicking on "Upgrade" under your name when you first log in; or,
2) going to Profile > Personal/Business Information > click on Upgrade.
Hope this helps,
Adrian
